Arizona and Stanford meet again, tethered to a tenuous existence

Two immortal college football coaches — you can debate which one said it first — popularized the notion that three things can happen when you pass, and two of them are bad.

The Student Section’s Pick Six

Good morning, humans. We are at that weird part of the week when people are no longer coming down from the weekend high, yet no one is that excited about the weekend because it still feels so damn far away. Also, it kind of hurts the soul that there isn’t any college football games on […]

A coach, a quarterback, and a shared moment: Clemson stands in the spotlight

It’s true that as recently as the back end of the Charlie Weis era, Notre Dame football wasn’t particularly relevant.

Moving parts: The art of assessing a college football season

Evaluating a college football season is a supremely delicate endeavor. On one hand, the small sample size provided by only 12 games makes it important to withhold overly severe judgments of teams, coaches and players in the first month of a season… the month (September) which has just come to an end as far as […]

Utah and Kyle Whittingham show how to manage two quarterbacks

A top-10 team in the nation has two quarterbacks who fit their system like a glove and have produced an unblemished record heading into October.

Quietly, Missouri’s SEC East reign might have ended in Lexington

Saturday night, while the nation was stunned by the blowouts which emerged in the Pac-12’s stack of showcase games, and we all wondered how “Utah 62, Oregon 20,” could possibly happen, something else happened. This event should have a significant effect on the workings of a conference. It should also change how we view week […]

Forget hot seats; many coaches are fighting for reputations right now

Here’s a simple but big question to throw at you, right out of the gate: How much did you think college football changed this weekend?
